Mrs. Stafford says her father had a building called the root house, so called because it was usgsed to store vegetables in, and es caping slavyes, on their way to Can-- ada, were oftem hidden in this root house. Mr. Blanchard's kindness to the colored race was to be -- repaid him Jlater.on, as you will see. After the war a colored man by the name of Amos Bennett located . w»bout a mile south of Gurnee. -- He was count of his skill with herbs and a ecursory knowledge of surgery he had picked up, which Mr. Blanchard said was the means of saving his wite's life. This is the story. During a severe thunderstorm Mrs. Blanch-- ard went outside to see that. the bar-- rel for catching their supply of soft water was in position ander the eaves. A bolt of lightning struck a tree a --short distance from where she was etanding: the shock threw ppeaiGuces: dang when Ins. Hlanoh ; dead . Blanch-- ard reached her side. He sent 4or Dr.~Bennett, and when the colored mar arrived he opened a vein in her arm, -- As soon as this was done c¢ir-- eulation seemed to start again and ness.~ Soon aftter Dr. Bennett went Increase for the two years' period at Joliet is 436, with an--additional 8 in the Woman's Prison..

Women Commi*® Few Crimes Burvrey of the Denartment of Pub dic Welfare shows that of the 8,2%19 inmates of the penal, reformatory and corrective institutions of the atate, 7,628 are males, with but 591 home. . About a year-- later an event occurred at the Bennett home which caused ~much -- interest <+for -- miles aroung.. A pair--of black babies ar-- rived, and as they were the only eolored <babies in that--neighborhood, you oan imagine the interest© they created.
